My major moral issue with SDCs is that they lack a human being who can be responsible for their actions and held liable when something goes wrong. If you have a human in control, they are presumably licensed, they are identifiable, and they have a personal interest in a clean record (presumably). So there is a full legal system in place to take care of problems on the road. If there is no human, then who's liable? Who's responsible for mistakes? Do you fine Waymo $100 for blocking fire hydrants? If an SDC drives wrong, do you take it out of service? What are the penalties and recourses for shenanigans? I don't like the fact that the legal system hasn't been able to catch up to this, despite having decades of lead time, and now these things are all over the streets like a cancer. I support the coners wholeheartedly.
